Attributes

List of forwarders where requests should be forwarded to.
ruby
default['bind']['forward'] = Array.new


List of servers where zone updates should be transferred to.
ruby
default['bind']['transfer'] = Array.new


List of trusted servers allowed to query
ruby
default['bind']['trusted_server'] = Array.new


Usage

Most complex setup:
```ruby
nameservers = ["ns.example.com", "ns1.first-ns.de", "robotns2.second-ns.de", "robotns3.second-ns.com" ]

Configures a automatic zone - all chef clients in this domain will be added magically

bind9_easy_zone "example.com" do
email "hostmaster.example.com"
nameserver nameservers
hosts ({
"@" => "192.168.2.1", #Generate an A Record
"not-a-chef-client" => "192.168.178.250", #results in a A record
"my-hot-box" => "not-a-chef-client" #results in a CNAME record
})
mailserver ({ "@" => "mail.example.com",
"lists.example.com" => "lists.example.com"}) # another mailserver for subdomain
spf true
xmpp "xmpp.example.com" #Assuming xmpp is provided by automagic configuration
subzones ({
"lan.ns.example.com" => "ns.example.com",
"v6.ns.example.com" => "ns.example.com",})
end

generate a Subdomain-Zone for v6 Network

bind9_easy_zone "v6.example.com" do
email "hostmaster.example.com"
nameserver nameservers
end

generate a Subdomain-Zone for internal nat

bind9_easy_zone "lan.example.com" do
email "hostmaster.example.com"
nameserver nameservers
hosts ({
"@" => "172.2.2.1",
})
end
```

Make sure to set up all zones, before calling the recipe.
Recipe writes named.conf.local and makes zones known to bind.

See resources/zone.rb for more zone-file attributes for bind9_easy_zone
